I hope you’re right, but I don’t share your confidence. It’s very odd that they didn’t mention this in passing right at the beginning. Did they think it would somehow go unnoticed?

It's best to let her first define herself based upon her own accomplishments, and then a few days later make this public along with the dismissive "it's a private matter". Had she mentioned it in her first speech it would've added legitimacy to the argument that it's an issue.

Not sure whether this timing was preplanned before Friday, but I think it was handled fine.

Odd? It would've been completely inappropriate to announce Bristol's pregnancy on Friday. Today is idea timing it's a bank holiday and there's a hurricane hitting Louisiana.

This is just a blip as it should be. It's a family matter. Did we see breaking news headlines about Al Gore's son being arrested for drugs and speeding when Al was running for POTUS?

Bristol was right there, out front, and not hidden away in a closet. I briefly wondered if she was just overweight (in a family of fit people) in some of the photos but now I know she's pregnant.

Friday was the 29th...today is the 1st....how much more of "the beginning" would satisfy you?
